Hopefully fan mentality can change one day

Agreed...they can go follow small heath down to division 20 in a few weeks

Zaniolo looking like a player who knows he is going back to his home club at end of season

First time in years i have switched off the game.......I am livid

Unai will be tied up inJulie B's basement and will have to coach the team from a laptop strapped to his legs

Forest wont play a low block under nuno unlike cooper last time.

They will play expansive and will try to get in  behind us and they have the players to do that.

It is not an easy game at all but i hope with the holte end buzzing we can overcome them

Rumour floating around that he has picked up a knock

hope its not true

Yeah it was a great day with Paul and neil and paddy did a great job

Chambers has a cushy number on the bench and is paid very well...i cannot see him going anywhere or see any club wanting him unless we subsidise his wages hugely

They packed the midfield and we could not play through them.

They were the better team on the night to be fair and some of our players (you know those ones) looked like they never played a match together before.

This is just a slump and its been coming since the everton game where the cracks started to show.

I dont know the answer to our current situation but i do know we have to play much more up tempo because im getting bored with watching the drab slow tippy tap crap that goes nowhere.

Nah.  Duran up top with Rogers in the 10 role is a great future strike force.

Reminds me of my 20s..Duran Duran and Buck Rogers.....

I’ll be honest, I have only read a few pages of this thread and I’ve not bothered any watching any of Boro’s games outside of our FA Cup tie… where do we think he’ll fit into the team? Is he an inside forward type of player? Competing with Ramsey? Or Diaby/Bailey?

For me he is more of a 10 playing in the box..very similar to the buendia role

Cheating Bar Stewards at that!

That 2M will go a  long way to buy them a few players in the Isthmian League next season

This thread is embarrassing.

Writing him off after 30 minutes playing for Boro away to Chelsea

I agree at least give him 45 mins.....

Not getting in quality cover for kamara and cash is what i am afraid of.

I really hope it does not come and bite us in the arse when the business end of the season hots up.

* Dele Alli (27, Everton). He's probably an ex-player at this point. But Unai might be able to revive him

The Lord god above would find it hard to revive that lump

I would sell Cash in a heartbeat for the right price in january.

If that sale happened we would have to get an excellent RB and a cover for said option.

We simply cannot have players like Kamara injured without an equal replacement so i would expect movement either now or in the summer to remedy that.

Douglas luiz has struggled and not his usual self because of kamara's absence.

The midweek cup game is a blessing in disguise and hope we can rest some of the players as they looked tired today.

Lenglet and Carlos are just not suited together..our defence looks weak and nervy when they play.

At this stage i am going to put my trust in monchi and his team...

whoever we get in january hopefully strengthens us as i am sure unai knows what he wants.

Chambers and olsen if played are going to cost us again

We simply cannot afford to lose this game.

Put strongest team out and score 4 goals fast THEN rotate.

Im sure AZ ALKMAAR thought these were crap as well...and look what happened to them.

We should put tielemans and all those wet t-shirt first team kits into a truck and send it to turkey
